 The Career Act encourages employers and treatment professionals to collaborate and support individuals in recovery as they transition back into the workforce. It also promotes transitional housing services for people in recovery until they can find a stable situation. You've likely seen in your work that when individuals in recovery have steadiness in their lives from a good job for the safe place to live, the chances of their long-term sobriety increased dramatically. The other measure I included in this new law is the Protecting Moms at Hephensack. In 2015, I sponsored the first federal law to address parental opioid exposure, prenatal opioid exposure, directing federal agencies to develop strategies in response to the tragic increase of babies born from mothers abusing drugs. My new provision goes further and instructs the federal agencies to report on their implementation of treatment guidelines. It also authorizes increased grant resources to help organizations balance this particularly troubling problem in our society.
